Chad and Elliot were in the black Rolls-Royce. Chad had accepted a phone call from Mike, and when he had ended the call, he turned and looked at Elliot."Mr. Foster, Mike just called me. He invited me to a hotel to have a meal." Chad hesitated, "Do you want to come?"Elliot's expression darkened. "They didn't invite me. Why should I go?"Chad said awkwardly, "I heard that Avery had called you this morning, but she could not get through to you. Why don't… you two meet and talk? Don't pay attention to her smiles while she was on the live stream. Mike said that she was absolutely livid. I'm guessing she dressed as she did to upset you." Elliot's gaze darkened. "How do you know she did not wear it for Eric?"Chad could feel Elliot's anger, and he dared not say more.Eric was at the hotel, and he was giving a demonstration on the latest drone that came out of Tate Industries. Later, by popular demand, he sang for them too. The live stream suddenly became an online concert! Avery

Avery pushed Mike's hand away and collected her thoughts before walking up on stage. She accepted the microphone from her secretary and faced Eric.The crowd could only see her side, but they could still make out the elegant arch of her beautiful eyebrows.The intro of the song played, and they both looked at each. They gave the appearance that nothing else but the other mattered. Elliot walked to the front of the stage. The bodyguard pushed the people away from him. The atmosphere there was extremely strange!No one expected Elliot to come!The insiders had heard of the rumor that Elliot was responsible for the boycott. Therefore, his appearance there truly stumped them. They wondered why he was here, and they wanted to know if he was here to find fault with Eric or Avery? Whatever happened next would be something to watch.Mike noticed that there was something wrong with the look Elliot wore. He immediately texted Chad. [When they have finished singing, I'll take Avery away.

If Avery did not look for Elliot tonight, she would surely lose sleep. She hoped to get Eric's career back on track as soon as possible, or she would continue to lose more sleep over it.After a short moment of hesitation, she came out of her room. The children were already asleep. The entire house was silent. She could even hear her heart beating."Why am I afraid?" she thought. She was pregnant with his child. He would not harm her no matter what she said or did.The nanny and the bodyguard had left for the night. Avery drove to Elliot's mansion on her own.Forty minutes later, she had parked her car by the gate. She came out of the car. The guards saw her face clearly with the help of the streetlights and immediately opened the gates.Avery was pregnant with Elliot's child and no one dared stop her.Avery walked to the door of the mansion. Mrs. Cooper immediately came over. She helped Avery with her shoes."I can change them on my own," Avery immediately stopped her.Mrs. Co

"Why do you need to be the one to hold on to it? Are you his mother? Do you automatically feel motherly love when you see a handsome man?" snarled Elliot. Avery furrowed her brows. Her mind went blank. She knew that it was impossible to reason with him. To avoid her losing her temper and waking the others in the mansion, Avery got up and walked over to him. "Let's talk in the room."Elliot quickly got up from the sofa upon hearing what Avery said.He clutched her arm and led her to his bedroom.The moment the room door closed, Avery cut to the chase and said, "Elliot, I don't want to waste my time on you. By tomorrow, I want to see Eric's work back on the internet! You can hurt me, but you can't hurt my friends! If you think I'm threatening you, then so be it!""Are you threatening me with the child in you?" Elliot's gaze fell on her stomach. The smile she gave him was a mocking one. Avery would never do a thing to hurt the child, so it was pointless to use the child to threate

Dawn soon came.The media and other news outlets all had one topic: [Elliot Foster: I Did Not Boycott Eric Santos.]The headline was straightforward and eye-catching! Tapping the headline, one could see the entire press release. Although the article was not long, its intention was clear. Elliot pointed out that he was not familiar with Eric. He did not boycott Eric. He would not do it then, he would not do it in the future.The brands who had canceled their contracts with Eric were bewildered!"What did Elliot mean! What did he mean! Was Elliot a hypocrite?" they thought.Elliot's phone was blasted with calls and messages, but that did not affect his sleep because his phone was off. Everyone could not get to Elliot, so they called Chad instead. Chad had been drinking the night before. His head hurt terribly when he woke to the shrill ringing of his phone. He was suffering from a hangover.Who would have thought that his head would hurt even worse when he picked up the call!

"What did he say?" Elliot sat in his chair, picked up the glass of milk, and took a sip."He asked about Avery and hung up."After breakfast, Elliot went upstairs to get his phone. Chad had called him early in the morning. Something must have happened. Elliot picked his phone up and pressed the power button once. The screen did not light up as expected.He pressed the power button longer. His phone turned on. He furrowed his brows. He did not remember switching off his phone the night before. "Why is it switched off?" he thought.Once his phone booted up, a bunch of messages and missed-called notifications flooded his phone. His chest tightened, and he tapped on the messages.[Mr. Foster, have you seen the news today? I've seen it and lost all appetite for breakfast.][Mr. Foster, what is your stance on Eric Santos? I don't understand. I'm in shock.][Mr. Foster, are you not boycotting Eric anymore? Can we partner up with him again?] …After looking at the messages, Elliot

When Avery heard Elliot's voice, a chill ran down her back. "Why is he not at work? Did he wait for me to wake up?" she thought.Avery awkwardly turned around and looked at him. Elliot was in a suit, and he had a serious expression on his face. The sun shining through the window cloaked him in its light, making him look more austere and aloof."I did take your phone to send out an email," said Avery. "I'll admit that it's wrong of me to take your phone without your permission, but you did not talk to me before you boycotted Eric."Avery was willing to come clean, but that did not mean that she had regretted her actions."Avery—""What? Do you want to settle the score? I didn't agree to sleep with you! You are a thug!" said Avery as she raised her head in defiance. "If I were you, I would shut up and just let this thing go."Elliot was at a loss of words upon hearing what Avery said.Mrs. Cooper saw how they were arguing, and she immediately came over to try her best and medi

"No need." Avery regretted what she had said terribly. She should not have struck up a conversation with him. At that moment, not only could she not continue the conversation, but she was feeling awkward too."Avery, I still have something to talk to you about. I'll send you home. We can talk on the way." The tone Elliot took told her that she would not be able to escape him. Avery grabbed her bag and followed him. Coming out of the mansion, he stretched his hand out to her. "Pass me the keys.""How are you going to come back?" After asking this question, Avery spotted his bodyguard in another car.Avery sighed secretly. No matter where Elliot went, his bodyguard would follow. "Why do I even worry?" she thought.After getting in the car, Elliot drove calmly drove out of the mansion. After the meal, Avery's blood sugar spiked, so she was a little dizzy."Avery, what are your plans for the children during their summer break?" asked Elliot. This was what he had wanted to talk to he
